This sculpture captures the essence of Val Gardena craftsmanship, blending natural elements and abstract forms into a single work of profound suggestiveness. The Angel appears as an ethereal and powerful figure, 12 cm tall.
Its body is a masterpiece of raw materiality: it is made from a piece of natural tree bark, exhibiting a rough, irregular, and cracked finish that carries the authentic shades of the forest. This contrast is enhanced by the wings, carved from smooth, pure white maple wood, which seem to float lightly on the figure's back.
The figure rests firmly on an oval dark metal base, which enhances its static verticality. The skillful use of maple wood, chosen for the smooth parts due to its fine grain, and bark for the body, makes this creation a unique bridge between unspoiled nature and spirituality, ensuring a sculptural quality destined to last over time.
